The Department of Energy is always here to serve the American public...including on Thanksgiving Day to serve a conversation starter for the dinner table 🤓 So here’s one for you: Did you know a nuclear reactor has enough power to cook 2.5 million turkeys? That’s enough to feed people in 18 states. Yup. Here’s the mathematical breakdown: https://lnkd.in/e8uNqFfh

The U.S. has shown the rest of the world that an industrial strategy for clean energy can succeed. Other countries now have an opportunity to step up and be global leaders in this fight, and we will be cheering them on every step of the way. We challenge you to be ambitious now more than ever and return to COP30, COP31, and every COP after with transformational progress to show.

🌍 On the ground at #COP29Baku, Secretary Granholm drove action for a sustainable future! We joined the Azerbaijan COP Presidency’s Energy Storage and Grids Pledge — a bold global commitment to increase energy storage six-fold by 2030.⚡ Thanks to investments from President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act, the U.S. is leading the charge. By the end of this year, we’ll have added over 31 gigawatts of battery storage to the grid since January 2021 — enough to power millions of homes.🏡🔋

Government agencies are leading the charge on ensuring our federal infrastructure is efficient, secure, and resilient. 📢 NEW: we’re awarding $150 million for 67 energy conservation measures and clean energy projects at federal facilities across 28 U.S. states and territories. These projects are estimated to save $41.7 million in energy and water costs each year and remove the same amount of greenhouse gas emissions from the air as taking 19,370 gasoline-powered vehicles off the roads. Read more about these innovative projects and how they’ll save taxpayers money while advancing our nation’s climate goals: https://lnkd.in/gfr3fpNt #AFFECTfunding #InvestingInAmerica #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw #EnergyInfrastructure #DeployWithImpact
